Zucchini Bread

Zucchini Bread

3 cups shredded zucchini
4 eggs
2/3 cup oil
2 cups sugar
2 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. cloves
2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. baking powder
3 cups flour

Make sure your oven rack is on the lower level. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix zucchini, eggs, oil, vanilla, and sugar. Add remaining ingredients. Mix well. Pour into two greased loaf pans. Bake for 50 minutes. Let cool in loaf pans for 30 minutes. Turn out onto a cooling rack and cool additional 30 minutes before slicing.

Do you want a healthier version? Trust me, your kids will still snarf it up!
* For the flour - use 2 1/2 cups of whole wheat flour, and 1/2 cup of quick oats.
* Add 1/2 cup of ground flax seed.
* Decrease the sugar by a half cup, you won't miss it, I promise!

Sweet, I didn't know you have a recipe blog, and I really need a good one for zucchini bread. Our plants went crazy this summer and I froze some shredded zucchine.
